Hello all. I have a new GSR with 780miles. I've heard a ticking sound since the day I drove her home. I've been a bit paranoid about engine noise since coming from a GR STi. The video below is with a warm engine. I can hear the noise only when I am about 3ft from the front of the car. I don't notice it at all when sitting inside the car. I'm just concerned because this the first car I've owned with the tick so pronounced. The car is 100% stock. Is this normal?

nothing to worry about, mine does the same, i think its the cams/valves that make that noise

 

Mine does that too. It comes and goes

 

That would be the injectors.

 

exactly what anEVOX said! those are your injectors my friend.

 

Sounds just like mine - and mine's sounded like that since the day I bought it new

 

Phew.. thats a relief. Thanks guys!!

 

Yup definitely injectors pulsating.

 

Good answer.
